Honestly this place has gone so downhill, I remember the day's you had to book a table for food, now I don't think they even do food. The staff are rude and lazy, they'd rather play the bandit than serve you. I've never seen such bad management where the managers actually moan that they have to serve you.

22 of us booked for a Christmas Dinner. We booked a month in advance and pre paid and booked for the 2 pm slot and didn't managed to get seated until 2:45pm. Started then started to come out at 4:15 which is 2 hours after our original booking slot and mains arrived at 5:20. The veg didn't arrive until another half hour after that which meant all the meat and extras were cold before we could even add the veg to make it a proper dinner. I asked for over 2 hours for the babies mash to be brought out and kept getting promised every 15 minutes so I was getting frustrated You speak to the staff for help and they give you empty promises. They charged £26 for a children's meal that basically consisted of mainly just chips. We were not the only group that were complaining and we seen a few people leave earlier than they originally planned. We were promised a refund but still to date hasn't received one,. A very unhappy experience for everyone and their families on an important day such as Christmas Day. We will not be going here again and will be recording everyone to stay away. Ruined our families Xmas day. Very unhappy customer.

We were quite disappointed with the Thomas Arms for our trip. We ate there once the food was ok, however there was no service to our room during our stay, we had to go and ask for milk and sugar (no hardship there), had to ask for fresh towels after reusing them for a few days they start to get a bit unpleasant. The soap supplied was just about empty. Bins in our room weren’t emptied during our stay (can empty ourselves) but it’s all these little attention to details that make you decide if you want to come back or not. There’s was cobwebs and the skirtings were somewhat dusty. The curtains were also a bit tired. The staff we did meet were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately we will not come back to the Thomas Arms.

The food and hospitality was second to none. If anyone is thinking of booking an event you won't be sorry if you book at the Thomas Arms. Thank you again guys.

I had the pleasure of having my wedding reception at the Thomas Arms this weekend. Jon and Jamie went above and beyond to make the day incredible, from calming me down on the morning, to planning out part by part the way the afternoon would play and then keeping me and my husband stress free. There was nothing too much trouble and they kept our guests happy and entertained. There'll never be enough good words to thank them alone, and all of guests have commented on what a wonderful atmosphere it was and how the food was outstanding! Thank you once again for making the day perfect!
